the theorem that any symmetry preserving transition probabilities between quantum states is implemented by a unitary or antiunitary operator.

In mathematical physics, Wigner's theorem refers to the theorem that any symmetry preserving transition probabilities between quantum states is implemented by a unitary or antiunitary operator. This meaning comes from Bargmann (1964) in Journal of Mathematical Physics.[1]
